Axel Rosenhahn is Professor for Analytical Chemistry at the Ruhr-University Bochum. He received his Ph.D. at the University of Bonn in 2000. After a postdoc in the Materials Sciences Division of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory at the Advanced Light Source, he joined 2002 Heidelberg University to obtain his venia legendi in Physical Chemistry in the area of Biointerfaces and coherent imaging. Between 2009 and 2012 he led a research group at the Institute of Functional Interfaces at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. In 2012 he was appointed by the Ruhr-University Bochum as Professor for Analytical Chemistry with a focus on Biointerfaces. His work aims on understanding the interaction of microorganisms and cells with polymer materials and its implication for biofouling and biomedical research. Surface modification and polymer synthesis in conjunction with surface characterization is used to correlate surface properties with biological response for a knowledge driven development of new coating technologies. To gain a deeper insight into the structure and dynamics of surface colonization by microorganisms, microfluidic assays, 3D tracking techniques, and X-ray nanoanalysis are developed and applied in his group.
